有哪些框架/工具/技术可以帮助从PHP运行javascript？

Question

What frameworks/tools are there to help run javascript from PHP? Is there anything like the harmony project for PHP? I am hoping to perform JS unit tests (or even better, BDD) directly from PHP, inspired by this post (for Ruby). Am I asking for too much?

Answer 1

There is in fact the Spidermonkey PECL extension, which embeds THE mozilla Javascript interpreter in PHP. It will however not provide the document.whatever object tree that browsers have. So I'm not sure which kind of JS unit tests you could possibly accomplish with this.

Maybe you can utilize env.js and co like that Ruby project does. But I'm unware if a pre-made setup or framework for such purposes exists (most likely not). So much for the unconclusive answer.

If you just want to probe the user interface with jQuery-like features, then phpQuery might be an option.
